The last Saturday Shuffle of the year and we have now reached the dizzy heights of number 35. My plan is to continue until I have done at least a years worth on the basis that it involves minimal effort and very few folk tune in on a Saturday anyway. You have to accept that any post coming up against Rol's Saturday Snapshots is going to pale into insignificance.
So let's go for the couple of sad hardy souls who have wandered over here. Let's start with Rockabilly singer Carl Cherry and The Itch which was released as a single along with Baby Doll on Tene Records in 2009. It also features on the brilliant Keb Darge & Little Edith's Legendary Wild Rockers here
Mr Cherry is followed by Karine Polwart with a copy of the Frightened Rabbit classic Swim Until You Can't See Land from her Scottish Songbook album here I'm sure some Frabbits will think this is sacrilege but I can't help feeling that Scott would have approved.
Finally we have Nadine Shah with Buckfast from her 2000 album Kitchen Sink and also her second appearance on the Shuffle. Although the marketing would like you to think that Buckfast Tonic wine is made by the monks from Buckfast Abbey in Devon it is actually made in a factory in France. It is a scourge on the West of Scotland and is a significant contributor to antisocial behaviour and mindless violence.
Here's to Shuffling in 2024.
so it's not your choice of drink for tomorrow night, then?
